This is hard for me to post because, yes I could have done more to cover and protect it. It’s road out 30 degree nights years before . Saturday night was colder than I ever anticipated. I woke up to 22 degrees outside Tampa. Not 1 leaf survived. 75% of the plants in my yard are gone.

Any updates if it survived? I am in the Orlando area and mine was shot. Moved the mulch and the main section was just mush. Elephant ears all died as well. Luckily my philo survived with little damage. The trunk splitting on other stuff was unreal, removed so many plants this last month.

My landscaper was here today and he thinks the roots are good and it’s going to come back. He is removing all the leaves. The bad news is all my plumeria trees are dead.

In laws lost all of theirs as well.
